It was on January 6, 1838 that Samuel Morse first demonstrated the electric telegraph. The telegraph was perhaps the single largest step forward in telecommunication history. It allowed messages to be sent electronically for the first time. It was key in settling the west, and served as the basis for modern communication methods.
